Datong-Xian Passenger Dedicated Railway Line (simplified Chinese: 大同西安铁路客运专线; traditional Chinese: 大同西安鐵路客運專線; pinyin: dàtóngxīān tiělù kèyùn zhuānxiàn) or Daxi PDL (Chinese: 大西客运专线) is a dual-track, electrified, high-speed rail line, planned for construction in central China between Datong and Xian. It will run 859 km through Shanxi and Shaanxi Province and will accommodate trains traveling at speeds up to 250km/h.[1] Travel time between the two terminal cities will be reduced from 16.5 hours to about three hours.[2] Construction began in late 2009 and is expected to cost Y96.3 billion.[2] The line is scheduled to be completed by 2013[2] or 2014.[1]
Route
The high speed rail line will run down the length of Shanxi Province from Datong in the north through Shuozhou, Xinzhou, the provincial capital Taiyuan, Jinzhong, Linfen and Yuncheng. It will cross the Yellow River at Yongji, enter Shaanxi and reach Xian via Weinan and Lintong.[1]
